Description

### Expected

When navigating from the widget text to a note directly and using the back option to return to the home screen, I would expect the text in the widget to also update.

### Observed

A user has reported that the text stays the same if they open a note by tapping on the widget, make an edit and then press back or perform back gesture to return to the home screen.

### Reproduced

1. Go to homescreen and add a Simplenote Widget.
2. Tap on a note from the list to open Simplenote and make an edit to that note.
3. Use the back button or swipe back gesture to return to the home screen.
3. Notice the text in the widget doesn't update.
